I am sure many of you have heard about Ilva of Lucullian Delights’ outstanding Prop Series. If you haven’t and you are an aspiring food photographer then I really suggest you make your way over and browse through the posts.

Ilva invited me a few weeks ago to share a few of my secrets and tricks for getting my perfect shot. I was extremely honored and enjoyed writing the post for the series. So, come on over to Ilva’s and find out what I use for props, how I go about using props for my images and get a peak into my prop shelf in Part 8 of Food Props on Sunday.

I saw your post there earlier today, it's been a brilliant series and you've made an excellent contribution to it. I love your neatly piled napkins on those shelves. Mine are inside a load of Ikea boxes so I don't get to see them stacked up like that.

Meeta, I am a decent cook but horrible at photography. You should see some of my old shots when I just began blogging some 8 months ago. Seeing your blog, i have learnt a few things -- how to use fresh flowers, making use of ladles, spoons and fork to fill up empty spots and such.I have somewhat improvised but I have a longgggg( i mean very long) way to go. Now let me head over to Ilva's spot for some free 'Prop-Series' sessions.

I have to give you major kudos for keeping all your blog props so organized and neat. I just threw mine in a box, and this box is in a room where some of it's contents have spilled out all over the table. Thing is..I barely use any of them because well, they're kind of blah..lol I need to find some really good stuff LOL This series is a great idea!!

Hi Meeta - there is a reason your blog is up there with the best - for one thing, you writing is truly inspired, great recipes, great photos and styling and most important, your generous spirit and willingness to share information is amazing. Keep it up!
